Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Tie the sheets to the green washing line

And check if the weather's fine

It's that time of the calender year

The chateau and millenium wine

[G/f#]

Are the kids washed and t-shirts clean

Like your weekly with men's magazines

October

By noon it's a sure thing that tempers will rise

As the first of the kegs is drained dry

Contemplating the last of the roast

Is that your wife that's kissing the under twelve's coach?

[G/f#]

The prodigy's job is to drive the kids home

Newspaper hats and a hair frosted comb

October

Bridge

[G/f#]

Have you caught up on your neighbour's life

let's drink to the red in the heart of the sky

It's over, it's over, it's over
